Mobile Number Lookups

I came across a very useful site yesterday while trying to see if an IMEI was valid. The International Numbering Plans web site has some useful tools that can help you find out more about the numbers associated with your mobile…

• Telephone Number Analysis - Gives you the country and network operator.

• IMSI Number Analysis - All mobile phone subscribers are assigned a unique 15-digit IMSI number to allow foreign mobile networks to identify subscribers from abroad. Here you can check the subscriber's home network, provided you know the IMSI.

• IMEI Number Analysis - All mobile phones are assigned a unique 15 digit IMEI code upon production. You can check all known information regarding manufacturer, model type, and country of approval of a handset. The IMEI can be displayed on most mobile handsets by dialling *#06#. Otherwise check the compliance plate under the battery.

• SIM Card Number Analysis - All mobile phone SIM cards have each been assigned a unique SIM card number. You can enter a SIM card number to check its validity as well as find out more about the mobile network that issued the chip.
